Stars

He’s beautiful.
Laying across from me,
Eyes a confused green.

I know his skin is soft
Because in one moment,
He placed a coin in my palm,
And I had the 
Overwhelming desire
To run my fingers
Through his hair and

I know
I can’t help myself
My hopeless romantic 
Tendencies have 
Taken ahold of me.

And him, he’s just
Simplistically hopeful
And so am I.
I can see the good in him
And he sees the good in me.

And I think,
I don't know but I want to
I think 
Hidden in the dark,
We could outshine the
Stars.
